Human Rights Campaign is having what it’s calling “the biggest LGBT election night watch party in D.C.” at Eatonville (2121 14th St., N.W.). Suggested donation is $5-10 and includes a thank-you gift while supplies last.

Online reservations are encouraged at hrc.org/electionwatchdc but that doesn’t reserve you a spot — those who want to attend are encouraged to arrive early to ensure a spot.

HOW ARE LOCAL LGBT POLITICOS SPENDING ELECTION NIGHT?

Cobalt (1639 R St., N.W.) will be screening results on its new TVs in the 30 Degrees (mid-floor) lounge. A Facebook page has been created for the event. RSVP there. Festivities start at 7 p.m.

The gay-friendly 6th and I Synagogue (600 I St., N.W.) has large-screen TVs, all-American food, a cash bar and commentary from Georgetown Law Professor and former Kennedy adviser Peter Edelmen from 7:30-11 p.m. Jeffrey Rosen, legal correspondent for the New Republic and professor of law at George Washington University Law School will also offer comments.

The National Press Club has a ticketed non-partisan watch party planned. Club members can meet in the Truman Lounge. The First Amendment Lounge will be open to the public. Admission is $10 for club members and $15 for non-members. Hors d’oeuvres will be served. Visit press.org for tickets.

Never one to miss an opportunity, Special Agent Galactica (AKA Jeffrey Johnson, a winner in this year’s Best of Gay D.C. Blade awards) performs an “Election Night Rock and Roll Show With Special Raffle” at MOVA (2204 14th St., N.W.) at 8 p.m. She has covers planned of songs by some of pop and rock’s biggest acts but will also provide election night coverage.
